Today's forecast: Partly sunny with slight chance of showers & t’storms, highs in the upper 80s, E-SE near 5 mph

A Coastal Flood Statement remains in effect for all of the Florida Keys through tonight. Minor saltwater flooding of low elevation streets and lots is likely around the times of higher high tide. Some storm drains will overflow, and some seawalls and docks will be overtopped. Boaters should expect less clearance under fixed bridges. Motorists should remember that persistent puddles around the times of high tide are almost certain to contain a mix of saltwater. For more information on coastal flooding in the Florida Keys, refer to weather.gov/key/coastal_flooding.

A trough of low pressure in the southwestern Gulf is producing disorganized showers and thunderstorms. Although environmental conditions appear to be marginally conducive, gradual development is becoming more likely, and a tropical depression is expected to form during the middle portion of the week.
